NETWORK MONETIZATION

With carriers yet to realize the ROI from their significant network infrastructure investments, all eyes are on how to monetize not only consumer networks but also lucrative B2B services like private networks, indoor connectivity, connected homes or enterprise & security solutions. Carriers are also on a mission to deliver innovative, new services to both B2C and B2B markets, enhancing user experiences through AI, generative AI, and emerging technologies. Furthermore, carriers are increasingly prioritizing the monetization of insights and data generated by their networks, utilizing network APIs to unlock new, lucrative revenue streams.
